توضیحات
Every tenth light bulb in the world right now is burning on electricity from a machine that splits atoms for a living. Most people who flip that switch have no idea how it works — and the popular picture, somewhere between a green glow and a mushroom cloud, is almost entirely wrong.This book follows the heat, step by step: from one uranium pellet the size of a fingertip, through a lattice of fifty thousand rods, into a steel vessel holding water at 155 times atmospheric pressure, out as steam that spins a turbine, and into the wire that reaches your kitchen.Inside, you'll find:The physics of fission without a single equation — why one number, 0.65 percent, is the only thing standing between a controlled reactor and a runaway one.How a reactor vessel gets built: forged in one of a handful of factories on Earth, welded to outlast sixty years, then shipped halfway around the world.What actually happened at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima — and why Chernobyl's death toll is reported as 30, 4,000, or 60,000 depending on who is counting and what.Why a reactor that costs $36 billion in Georgia gets built in 67 months in China, and what that gap says about an industry that lost the ability to build cheaply.Where the waste actually goes: about one swimming-pool lane of it per reactor over a lifetime, and why Finland is now burying its own 430 meters underground.No physics background required, no argument to sit through — just the machine itself, explained in plain language, with charts, diagrams, and maps built from primary sources.
